Features

"Yahrzeit Search"

Click "Contacts ... Custom Searches" then click "Yahrzeit Search"

The "Yahrzeit Search" is the recommended means of:

  • Finding/listing deceased individuals' yahrzeit dates during various date ranges
  • Finding/listing mourners observing yahrzeits during various date ranges
  • Creating various CRM smart groups
  • Sending emails to mourners, such as to let them know about their upcoming yahrzeits
  • Sending hard-copy reminder letters to the mourners
  • Creating hard-copy lists of deceased names, mourner names to be read aloud during services
  • Creating hard-copy weekly lists of deceased names for a volunteer to turn on/off light bulbs next to memorial plaques

Tokens

Whenever you are sending emails, creating a PDF document, or editing a message template: Look for a button in the upper right labeled "Insert Tokens". Click on "Insert Tokens" then scroll until you see the section "Yahrzeits for this Mourner". (Notice: tokens are not aware of your search filters, so make sure your search filters make sense for the tokens you use)

Such as:

The list of tokens:
